Chicago has started evicting some migrants from its shelters, a measure that had been postponed three times because of extreme winter, staffing concern and backlash from advocates and elected officials, NBC News reported on Tuesday.

City authorities said that nearly three dozen people were eligible for eviction on Sunday, but most of them ended up receiving extensions because of different extension possibilities, including enrollment in public benefits, pregnancy or infant care, medical care, medical isolation and quarantine, as well as having families with children under 18 years of age. Thousands of families in these conditions have already been given extensions.
